How often should I apply Revolution for my dog's sarcoptic mange?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 5 months old | 71.2 lbs

I contacted a Veterinary Dermatologist in MD about Nova's scratching. He told me to check into fox mange which I thought I had never heard of until I read about it. My question is when using revolution to treat fox mange how often should I apply it? I do recall my GSD halo being treated for Sarcoptic mange but it turned out she did not have it and I believe the vet had be applying revolution weekly to her. Nova has alot of the signs and symptoms of Sarcoptic mange.

Hi there and thank you for posting! Revolution (Selamectin) can be applied every 4 weeks or every 2 weeks for 4-6 treatments for treatment of Sarcoptic Mange in dogs. I hope this helps and best of luck!
